hmm..... whatcha getting Ol male ? I have never ordered from hatchery. I like the sound of extras though. hahaaa Cats are evil ! A day hasnt gone by that this new one hasnt tried to eat the chicks in the house.
Who knows what I'll actually end up ordering in the end - but right now my list includes:
Speckled Sussex
Appenzeller Spitzhauben (I like the more controlled head dress, especially for keeping in a mixed flock as I know my Polish didn't always do well with their full head dresses)
Black Australorp (were on our list for this year, but unavailable the day I did find Welsummers - so I got some BSL instead)
California Grey *or* Barred Rock
Red Sex Link - DD fell in love with some at a place she stayed last summer and they *are* great production birds...but I'll have to over order and sell off extras because I'm picky about wanting the ones with lighter coloring and more white, lol.
also considering:
Ancona
more Easter Egger/Olive Egger
and who knows what else by the time I actually order -- I want them all, lol. I have months yet to finalize the list............and add to it, lol.
From the existing birds, I'll have - at least one Buff Orp and 1 or 2 of the two Easter Eggers from the group that will be 2 1/2 at that time; 1 or 2 of the EE/GLW pullets that started laying this spring and at least the three Welsummers I started this spring, maybe the two BSL if I end up liking them.
